We held the Pro-Nursing symposium in Bonn on 24th June, 2016. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Madjid Fathi, head of Institute of Knowledge Based Systems and Knowledge Management,
University of Siegen, Germany, welcomed the participants who were from 7 EU-countries, namely, Austria, England,
Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, The Netherlander.

The European funded
project Adaptive Medical Profession Assessor, Med-Assess, was aimed
at supporting

Health sectors across Europe demand highly qualified nurses.
The key to determine the quality of a nurses? performance lies in
his/her ability to properly apply domain specific knowledge in
various situations. Nursing education is dominated by on-the-job
training and learning by doing. To fill existing knowledge gaps,
nurses need to participate in (continuous) vocational education and
training (e.g. workshops or online courses).Job knowledge includes facts, concepts, principles, and other
types of information that enable job holders to perform their tasks
properly. The Med-Assess project was targeted at evaluating and
assessing the domain knowledge (job knowledge) of nurses, job
applicants, and students. The system was realized as a web-based
application that employs a multiple-choice test to assess the job
knowledge of nurses, and that recommends individually tailored and
commensurate learning content for further training and education. The
main outcomes of Med-Assess are, therefore, (i) An ontological
knowledge-base of nursing job knowledge, (ii) A test bank module
(containing multiple choice items), and (iii) A recommender module.
The focus was on the selection of employees on the basis of an
assessment of their work related knowledge (e.g. the treatment of
patients suffering neurological diseases), and the provision of
recommendations for remedial training courses, qualification
measures, or required learning material. Moreover, Med-Assess
supports Vocational Education and Training (VET) on the job and
furthers competencies in the context of human health services and the
medical profession. The Med-Assess project was specifically focused
on, and tailored to, the health labor market in Germany. The
ontological approach of Med-Assess is based on the Corvinno developed
Studio system. It utilizes ontologies to support a variety of
knowledge intensive processes, including learning and assessment. In
Med-Assess, Studio reinforces the analysis and assessment of nursing
job knowledge. This approach matches nursing requirements and nurses?
domain specific knowledge, and provides a logical framework for the
assessment of end-users (i.e. job applicants, nurses, and caregivers)
by fitting labor market needs to domain specific knowledge.
